Objective To explore the application value of thromboelastography(TEG) in perioperative evaluation of patients with antiplatelet therapy-associated cerebral hemorrhage. We aimed to investigate whether platelet transfu-sion, compared with standard care, reduced bleeding in patients with antiplatelet therapy-associated cerebral hemor-rhage. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data was conducted in 30 patients (12 patients receiving platelet transfusion) with antiplatelet therapy-associated basal ganglia hemorrhage who underwent emergency surgery. TEG was used to evaluate the intraoperative bleeding, postoperative bleeding and transfusion treatment. Results The routine co-agulation test was in the normal range in the two groups. However, TEG showed that the platelet function was exces-sively inhibited in patients with antiplatelet therapy before spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage (Platelet inhibition rate>90%). There were significant differences in the intraoperative blood loss (t=-3.998, P=0.008), total transfusion volume (Z=-3.245, P=0.001), postoperative hematoma volume (t=-2.909, P=0.043) and lead volume (t=-8.790, P=0.041) between two groups (P<0.05). One case from platelet transfusion group, and 4 cases from no-platelet transfusion group re-ceived a second surgical operation. However, the difference was not statistical significant ( P=0.317). Conclusion TEG can effectively assess the preoperative coagulation status in the patients with spontaneous cerebral haemorrhage after antiplatelet therapy. Platelet transfusion can reduce intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, decrease blood transfu-sion in the patients with antiplatelet therapy-associated cerebral hemorrhage.

Objective:To study the characteristics and mechanisms of language disorders in predominant periventricular lesion.Methods: 40 Patients with periventricular infarction were assessed on the Aphasia Battery in Chinese (ABC), results were analyzed to determine the relationship between neuroiconography and speech function. Results: lesion of anterial lateral ventricle led to acute mutism, limited spontaneous speech, and disorder of speech initiation. Lesion near medial lateral paraventricle led to aphemia. All these lesions are usually associated with stuttering. Conclusion: The white matter anteromedial lateral paraventricular is an important part in the automatic processes that involved in speech production. Different lesions of these regions may result in different language disorders.

Objective To study the prophylactic effects of nasal tolerance with a dual analogue (Lys262-Ala207) on experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) and observe the underlying mechanisms, the clinical and immunological changes in Lewis rats treated with dual analogue nasally. Methods The effects of the predetermined dosage of a dual analogue Lys262-Ala207 were compared at different time points, and the dual analogues or control peptides were given nasally before (Group A or CA) or on the day (Group B or CB) of immunization with acetylcholine receptor (AChR) in complete Freund's adjuvant for 10 consecutive days. The clinical scores were evaluated for 50 days after immunization. The levels of anti-AChR IgG in serum were tested by RIA. Proliferative responses of lymphocytes to no antigen, Lys262-Ala207, AChR, AChR-?100-116, MBP peptide, or Con A were tested. The numbers of mononuclear cells expressing CD4 and/or CD25 from lymph nodes were enumerated using flow cytometry. Results As compared with the corresponding control groups, Lewis rats in group A or B developed EAMG with reduced severity and loss of AChR within the neuromuscular junction. The levels of anti-AChR IgG (21.96?3.37 and 29.41?4.59) were also decreased. Proliferative responses were suppressed in response to antigen-specific stimulations in rats receiving dual analogue, whereas the numbers of CD4+CD25+ T cells were higher in group A (11.34%?1.62%) and B (8.68%?1.83%) than in their corresponding control groups. Conclusions Nasal administration with a dual analogue Lys262-Ala207, at two different time points before and on the day of immunization ameliorated muscular weakness in EAMG rats associated with decreased levels of anti-AChR IgG in serum, suppressed antigen-specific T cell proliferation and increased numbers of CD4+CD25+ T cells from lymph nodes as compared to rats receiving control peptides. The results of our study suggest that the mucosal tolerance with dual analogue should be served as an alternative maneuver in human MG.
